- How we build
- In stages with early working versions, connected to your data and tools, with AI features where they add real value
Software Built Around How You Work
Off-the-shelf software rarely fits perfectly. Teams end up working around it with spreadsheets, double entry and manual steps, or put up with tools that do too much and too little at the same time.
RK Consulting designs and builds custom apps and AI-powered products shaped around your processes. Because we specialise in data and AI, your app connects cleanly to your existing data, feeds your reporting, and can include AI features from day one.

- Client, member & staff portalsSecure self-service portals for the people you work with.

App Development Questions
What kinds of apps do you build?
Booking and scheduling systems, client and staff portals, operations apps that replace spreadsheets, and AI-powered products are common examples, but they're not the limit. If your idea can be built as a web app, we're happy to talk it through.
Can you add AI features to an app?
Yes. We add AI where it genuinely helps, such as triaging requests, extracting details from uploaded documents, summarising information, answering questions or suggesting next steps, with people kept in control of important decisions.
How quickly can you deliver an app?
It depends on the scope, but we aim to get a working version in front of you early, then build and refine it in stages with your feedback, rather than disappearing for months before a big reveal.
Who looks after the app after launch?
We can, through our Data & AI Partner service, covering updates, fixes and new features as your needs grow. We can also hand over to your own team with training.
How do you handle sensitive or personal information?
We design apps with privacy in mind from the start, collecting only the data that's needed, controlling who can see it, and working in line with the NZ Privacy Act 2020.
How does a project with RK Consulting start?
Every project starts with a free, no-obligation conversation about your challenge and goals. We then send a clear, scoped proposal with deliverables and timelines before any work begins.
